Western will continue to provide
annual rates to the BCP Contractors by
October 1 of each year using the same
ratesetting formula. The rates are
reviewed annually and adjusted upward
or downward to assure sufficient
revenues exist to achieve payment of all
costs and financial obligations
associated with the project. Each fiscal
year, Western prepares a PRS to update
actual revenues and expenses and
include future estimates of annual
revenues and expenses for the BCP,
including interest and capitalized costs.
Western’s BCP electric service
ratesetting formula set forth in Rate
Order No. WAPA–70 was approved on
April 19, 1996, in Docket No. EF96–
5091–000 at 75 FERC ¶ 62,050, for the
period beginning November 1, 1995,
and ending September 30, 2000. Rate
Order No. WAPA–94, extending the
existing ratesetting formula beginning
on October 1, 2000, and ending
September 30, 2005, was approved on
July 31, 2001, in Docket No. EF00–
5092–000 at 96 FERC ¶ 61,171. Rate
Order No. WAPA–120, extending the
existing ratesetting formula for another
five-year period beginning on October 1,
2005, and ending September 30, 2010,
was approved on June 22, 2006, in
Docket No. EF05–5091–000 at 115 FERC
¶ 61,362. The BCP ratesetting formula
includes a base charge, an energy rate,
and a capacity rate. The ratesetting
formula was used to determine the BCP
FY 2007 Base Charge and Rates.
Western proposes the FY 2007 base
charge of $67,509,136, the energy rate of
8.51 mills/kWh, and the capacity rate of
$1.63/kWmonth be approved on a final
basis.
Consistent with procedures set forth
in 10 CFR part 903 and 18 CFR part 300,
Western held a consultation and
comment period. The notice of the
proposed FY 2007 Rates for electric
service was published in the Federal
Register on March 2, 2006 (71 FR
10664).
Under Delegation Order Nos. 00–
037.00 and 00–001.00B, and in
compliance with 10 CFR part 903 and
18 CFR part 300, I hereby approve the
FY 2007 Rates for BCP Electric Service
on a final basis under Rate Schedule
BCP–F7, through September 30, 2007.
